Funny the article limits it to 50 years, might be good to go back a bit further. From 1950 (775,000) to 1980 (678,000) San Francisco's population dropped by 13

I'm not arguing SF is on the same trend now, but there is no reason why it couldn't happen again.
That said, I've noticed some changes with the new DA and a lot more police presence in the downtown core to try and stem some of the worst issue (casual shoplifting), so maybe things will get better.
- asielen 3y agoYeah, it does seem that at least on a microscale things are getting better from where they were even 6 months ago. But that doesn't solve the large issue of not enough housing and a looming commercial real-estate bubble pop. However expensive it would be, it seems those two issues could solve each other with some creative governance.
